The first step in protecting your rights is knowing them! CPR has developed a brief booklet to help New Yorkers of all backgrounds understand their rights when interacting with the police. Print copies are available through CPR member groups, or you can download it here.
On October 15th, CPR and the Public Science Project released We Deserve to Be Safe, a report that explores how New Yorkers living in heavily policed communities understand and experience safety. This powerful report is the result of over a year-long participatory research project that was led and coordinated by CPR members and supported by a number of partner organizations and represents one of the largest studies ever conducted on public safety – surveying over 3000 New Yorkers about their experiences and opinions on policing, crisis response and city funding for safety programs and infrastructure.
